The Power of Thought Grace, Dan, Jared, Isaac You may be surprised to find outthat these seemingly random words:- Roger Bannister-Double Blind Test-Placebo-Pygmalion...actually have something in common. Roger Bannister: Wait...how are they connected? Double Blind Test Connection? Placebo:Believe the pill and trick your body The Placebo Effect What's their Connection? So what does the double blind test and a placebo have in common? What's their connection? What do Roger bannister and Pygmalion have in common you may ask? How he overcame what they said was "impossible" - Who was he?-Why is running a 4min. mile impressive?-May 6, 1954: One man has ran a 4 minute mile-Within a year, 30 people beat him-Over 20,000 have ran 4 min mile Results: Group A Group B The Placebo Given actual pill that effects the body Given a placebo, or fake sugar pill that has no properties to cause any change with the patients Both groups showed members being cured of ailment "I found some cheese."

"Yuck, it's moldy!" -This is a test in which neither the patients nor the observer knows who got which pill "Wait, what did I just give you?..." Roger Bannister:Believed he could run a mile in 4 min. Double Blind:Believe you took thehelpful pill Pygmalion:Wished and believed his statue was real Underlying factor here? He's not blind...get it...two blind mice not three..."double" blind test....okay we tried... Placebo: What is it really?

-Roger Bannister went against all odds and believed he could run the mile in 4 minutes. Maybe it's because... Coincidence...I think not! What do Rodger Bannister and the placebo have in common? Could it be... One a "fake" drug, used the power of persuasion to make people believe in the impossible; the other a man who did the same Mind Matter Now for the big reveal...
